Please.

We borrow 40 cents on every dollar we spend.

That can’t last forever, but the answer is not that automatically debt = taxes.

Money can be printed. It’s called “monetizing” the debt. Not a good option, but an option nonetheless.

The economy can unleash growth and tax revenues would roll in without a tax increase. A properly constructed tax cut such as in capital gains, etc, has been a proven automatic revenue increaser. Any increase in revenues does not have to be spent and would therefore be available to balance a budget and pay down debt.

Please.

Get a grip.

Inflating the money supply is merely indirect taxation.
